In an impressive display of technological prowess, DDR5 memory is now breaking new barriers, surpassing the 10,000 MT/s milestone. This remarkable achievement was witnessed on the Gigabyte Z890 AORUS Tachyon motherboard paired with cutting-edge Intel Core Ultra 200S CPUs, showcasing an incredible leap in overclocking potential.
Gigabyte has demonstrated the formidable overclocking capabilities of their Z890 AORUS TACHYON ICE motherboard, which has pushed DDR5 memory speeds to astonishing heights. Memory manufacturers are in a hot race, continually striving to develop the fastest DDR5 modules, while motherboard makers are making strides to ensure that their hardware supports these blazing speeds. Thanks to the ingenuity of engineers and enthusiasts alike, the dream of achieving memory frequencies exceeding 10,000 MT/s is quickly becoming a reality, as Gigabyte has recently proven.
In a detailed exploration, Gigabyte reveals how users can unlock impressive memory frequencies with their Z890 high-end motherboards. In a special overclocking session led by HiCookie, the standout performance was achieved using the premium Z890 AORUS TACHYON ICE motherboard, designed specifically for high-performance Core Ultra 200S desktop processors. The system was equipped with a V-Color CUDIMM 24GB kit, comprised of two 24GB modules. While the exact model isn’t confirmed, possibilities point toward V-Color’s Xfinity RGB DDR5 CUDIMM module, which offers speeds of up to 9600 MT/s. However, this setup astonishingly reached a memory speed of 10,600 MT/s on the AORUS TACHYON ICE.
The Z890 AORUS TACHYON ICE is heralded as a motherboard exclusively crafted for overclocking enthusiasts, packed with features to facilitate groundbreaking performance. Its advanced all-digital power design, along with handy overclocking tools, shortcut keys, toggle switches, and voltage detection functions, provide overclockers with the arsenal needed to push the limits. Additionally, it boasts D5 Bionic Corsa, an AI-enhanced overclocking technology that seamlessly merges software, hardware, and firmware, enabling users to harness AI to achieve exceptional DDR5 speeds with remarkable ease.
Previously, the highest recorded speed was 10,000 MT/s, accomplished by Colorful’s Shadow CUDIMM DDR5. However, hitting above this mark has been a rare feat among CUDIMM modules. In this achievement, the CPU-Z utility showed a staggering 5300.5 MHz clock frequency, running on an Intel Core Ultra 7 265K processor, a recent addition to the Core Ultra 200S family. While the CL timings at 5300.5 MHz (equivalent to 10,000 MT/s) were reported as CL48-58-58-140, the exact voltage was not disclosed. It’s speculated to be around or exceed 1.5V, as surpassing the 10,000 MT/s threshold demands high voltage.
In summary, memory speeds have soared past Intel’s rumored 10,000 MT/s cap, marking a pivotal moment in memory technology. However, the practical implications of such high speed in gaming and applications remain to be fully explored.
